I hadn’t realised the WRC season had started this week – the first I heard of it was seeing the “Latvala crashes out of the lead of Monte Carlo rally” stories. So I was both surprised and not surprised at the same time…

I watched some of the highlights last night.
One of my frustrations with the WRC is their own website http://www.wrc.com. For goodness sake, the season has started and they still have not updated the Teams section to show the correct drivers!
It’s ridiculous. How on earth can a casual fan know what is going on. Very poor.
It should be the first port of call for all up to date information.

@chalky – that’s because the official website is run by North One Sport, and they don’t exist anymore. They went into receivership when the guy who owned their parent company was arrested in November last year. Your best bet is to go through the Eurosport WRC site (http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/rally/) or Autosport for now. Once a more-permanent arrangement for a broadcaster is brought into effect, the official website will probably be restarted.

I’ve been following it a little but nowhere near as much as I’d like. It was a great call with the tyres from Latvala but trust him to crash out when he’s quick. Not really surprised at Hirvonen as he’s still settling in. I think Sordo is doing a terrific job. Ogier and Novikov are impressing me too (although I’m biased as I’m a massive fan of Novikov) for the way they’ve settled in. I didn’t expect either to stun or be near the top but they’re doing good jobs I feel.
